I find it absolutely mad that the conversation has shifted to the point where it's expected that people will be able to effectively own the bit of public street outside their home to use as a personal fuel station www.theguardian.com/environment/...

OK, but then how are people without their own private parking to be encouraged to switch to EVs? There does need to be a practical solution to this.

Look, I agree - but also, we should be encouraging reduction in cars and more car share, especially for people without parking. Get rid of the VAT disparity between home and public chargers. Encouraging smaller cars with smaller batteries would mean faster charging at fast chargers away from home.

“Encouraging smaller cars with smaller batteries would mean faster charging at fast chargers away from home.” Er… no it wouldn’t. It would mean _more_ charging stops - the opposite of what you want. What _would_ help would be cheaper charging at local car parks.

I don’t think you really grasp this subject.

Not a constructive response. Indicates you don't have much of value to say.

It’s hard to frame a constructive response when your interlocutor does not understand the first principles. As is typical of journalists, you do not bother to do any homework. In short, you are not worth my time.
